THURSDAY OCTOBER 1
THE KINGDOM WITHIN YOU

Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
– Luke 17:20–21 (NKJV)

Did you know you can be born-again, with Heaven secured as your eternal home, yet not experience God’s kingdom on earth?

When we see passages in the Bible referring to the "kingdom of God" or "kingdom of Heaven"(Mark 9:1, Matthew 3:1–2, Acts 1:3), we often think it’s talking about the place called Heaven, but it’s not. The Jews in Jesus’ time misunderstood as well. They were living under Roman tyranny and expected Jesus to raise up an army and take over. Imagine their reaction when He said His kingdom was not visible but was within them! That means, we can experience His kingdom at work inside of us here on Earth. Best of all, we get to know Jesus! But if we don’t spend time in God’s Word, we miss out on growing a relationship with Him and fully experiencing His kingdom.

Now, maybe you’ve given your life to Christ, yet you still struggle to change unhealthy emotions, addictions or desires. Maybe you wonder whether you’re really in the kingdom. Let me tell you this, a relationship with Jesus is not about the external. A relationship with Jesus is an internal experience within our hearts. That is where He said His kingdom is.

If you’ve given your life to Christ, you’re Heaven-bound, but, spending quality time with God is how you discover your identity and authority in Him and learn to fully experience His kingdom.

Love it!, Just posted this in the other group.

Jesus said the Kingdom of God is at hand. I used to see the world as a very dark place because I was blind and full of darkness myself. Jesus changed me and began to show me that the whole Earth is filled with the glory of God. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. These things I write that your joy may be full. Be of good cheer, for Jesus has overcome the world. Yes we will face tribulation in this world, but be of good cheer!. I am in the world, not of it. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance. Do we throw these verses out because we allow our emotions to tell us differently? Therefore build yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit and cast down every vain imagination that exalts itself above the knowledge of God.
